Haha... write something *good*. :D

Take "Journeys of the Heart", assume the character of a human heart. Explore what it's like to have someone 100% dependent on you for their entire life. Bring a journey into it somehow. End with the heart trying to escape, but having to realise that they're depedent on the person they're in for life too.

And write it all as a poem. Dante style. :D

It could be OK, I mean, you're incorporating an inner journey with a physical one... (P.S. It's "Constructive criticism")

Yeah it could work, although don't make it Australian Idol, make it one of those insane ninja Japanese reality shows - the point of the show is to kill off everyone who isn't the winner (anyone see battle royale??). So you come down to the final two, you lose, realise you'll be killed, RIP AN INNER JOURNEY, fight your way out with the ninja skills learnt on said reality show and then retire to work on Columbian cocaine fields to write about your adventures...

No? :D

I'm a bit pessimistic on this section, i'm worried they might throw a feature article, letter to the editor, i'd prefer a simple narrative myself.

If they do pull some obscure textual form out, Im afraid the rage will be unleashed on my pen against a wall/door. Broad Narrative for the win :D

My creative writing plan:

1. On Sunday night, come on this forum, open every thread titled "creative writing ideas", or "creative writing help", etc.

2. Do the same thing with the documents in the resources section, if there are any.

3. Copy and paste all the examples of creative writings into word documents.

4. Close off the worst ones and the very best ones (because the worst will contain too many grammar mistakes, and the best ones because they'll be all 'intellectual' and 'post-modern', and that pisses me off)

5. Collate, merge and splice all the decent to good ones (they're pretty much all exactly the same anyway)

6. Make some adjustments (so they make sense) until I have the end result of about 3 or 4 different plagiarised, yet generic, pieces to cover all the different mediums (story, letter, speech, transcript, canonical literature...)

7. Rest assured that no one will ever know, for the reason stated in (5).

haha. Rather Original Process :p.

And yehh, dnt talk about Rape or like, a reflection of someone about to comitt suicide. Its something to do with ethics and how it will definitely turn the marker off, plus you might get written down and reported or something? i dont know, not wise to do in an important exam.

They say that the key to creativity is hiding your sources.
